Abstract
In this paper we provide a new 31-year time series
of the level of protection in the Australian
manufacturing sector. The index used is an estimate
of the partial equilibrium form of the
Trade Restrictiveness Index recently developed
by theWorld Bank. This is the theoretically correct
welfare based average of levels of nominal
protection. The paper outlines the index and
its properties. Some comments are made on the
insights gained from the new series and on the
record of the Labor and coalition governments
in making reforms to industry assistance
